Febru Wasono: install usb dongle modem internet 3g hsdpa ubuntu 13.10

once after installing ubuntu 13.10, for some modem, it could be error, in my case, i got

usb_modeswitch error libc-2.17.so

well, let solve this :
plug-on your usb modem, and check on usb list, we need to check the product id and vendor id of modem.

then check on dmesg

dmesg

from this log (above), we can see that the usb was detected but no driver loaded to process, so let we make them to straight-through.

sudo su

modprobe usbserial

modprobe usb_wwan

modprobe option

echo "05c6 0015" /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

after we make usb-serial process it, we can check that your usb modem was detected as modem on ttyUSB

dmesg

[ 1774.392677] usb 6-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2

after this, its up to you, either use wvdial or use GUI-Modem connection

here's my wvdial configuration

cat /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer tsel]

Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0

Baud = 460800

Init1 = ATZ

Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

Init3 = at+cgdcont=1,"ip","internet"

Phone = *99#

Username = ''

Password = ''

or you can use GUI as below :

install usb dongle modem internet 3g hsdpa huawei zte ubuntu 13.10

auto detect modem ubuntu 13.10

after you check that's running, we are create script to make it auto detect.

sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/90-modemVenus.rules

add the script like this :

# 90-modemVenus.rules

ACTION!="add", GOTO="modem_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="05c6", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0015", GOTO="modem_start"
GOTO="modem_end"

LABEL="modem_start"
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial"
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usb_wwan"
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe option"
RUN+="/bin/echo '05c6 0015' > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id"

LABEL="modem_end"

..show all:.
